The White House Friday highlighted a new multi-million-dollar technology fund for Muslim nations, following a pledge made by President Barack Obama in his landmark speech to the Islamic world.
The White House said the US Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) had issued a call for proposals for the fund, which will provide financing of between 25 and 150 million dollars for selected projects and funds.
The Global Technology and Innovation Fund will "catalyze and facilitate private sector investments" throughout Asia, the Middle East and Africa, the White House said in a statement.
Eligible projects would advance economic opportunity and create jobs in areas like technology, education, telecoms, media, business services and clean technology, the White House said.
OPIC said sample projects could help foster the development of new computer technology or telecommunications businesses, or widen access to broadband Internet services.

So they can make better bombs?
I was worried that muslims would not have the technology to, you know, form networks and cells.
American Technology = The Personal Computer, The Mobile Phone, The Internet
Islamic Technology = High-Tech Explosives
WTF?????!!!!
Hey! This is our money and I don’t want to offer millions ... just where does he get off doing this!
... and these folks need our charity?
Millions of our tax dollars, no questions asked. Just give it away, thank you sir. This country is going to hell in a hand basket and our Dear Leader is giving millions away to those outside this country disgusting.
We are tax paying American serfs - we have no standing.
Jobs for Muslims. How nice.
In the words of Phyllis Schlafly, the total existence of these countries depends on selling us oil at exorbitant prices.
Putting aside Islamic terrorism, sorry but I already paid my $3/gallon contribution to Middle Eastern “technology” at the gasoline pump.
Money down a rat hole and then snaking into Palestinian terrorist enterprises.
It’s a good thing our government is running such a large surplus that they can give tons of cash to our enemies. Otherwise, we would think they are crazy.
Silence! I Kill You!
But he’s not Muslim, remember that.......
Just had two Muslim daddies who abandoned him plus studied Koran recitation in Indonesia.

Why can’t the Chinese just give it to them directly.

And where is technology money best invested?
This is treason, pure and simple.
Keep sending in your money to the government. Pay those taxes on time so they can give it to sh*t like this. Damn it go GALT!
In the Muslim world, high tech is having sharp razors to do “female excision” on six year old girls.
Even higher tech would be some sort of anesthesia for those butcheries.
Islam Delenda Est.

Full time permanent type jobs...

Wow, it’s just great that President Obama got jobs back for Americans in nine short months!
Oh, wait.....
Forgive me if I vent.
It’s been a long, hard week.
Earning Devalued US Dollars to help out the dispossessed of
The Failed States Of The USA.
Like Michigan and the unter-stat of Detroit.

I hear there’s a lot of that going around these days.
Wonder why he didn’t offer millions to the Catholic technology fund? Oh right, he’s a Muslim.
Why don’t we donate that money in the form of cluster bombs dropped on Mecca during their huge annual pig-worship ceremony?
Next thing you know, they’ll pass a bill granting ACORN broad authority over private lending institutions all over the USA.
Oh, wait...

There's an idea! Or just drop giant water balloons filled with bacon grease! During Ramadan I made a specific point to increase my pork consumption. Its the other white meat you know.
I can’t believe this. We have no money and he is giving what little we have away... Not only that, but why don’t they go the the Saudis? They have enough money for everyone...
What about the jobs in that place called, um, AMERICA?
I could say I’m surprised by this, but that wouldn’t be correct.
i can not comment...
They're disappearing at a record pace since the stimu-lie.
Right On. The Saudi royals keep all the money and have the poor workers in the USA foot every war and skirmish, plus now I assume technologies to advance who knows what in Arab countries-—where are the politicians on this? Surely, giving monies away needs some type of approval??? I am waiting for the outcry.............
Obama doesn’t care about American jobs. He’s said virtually nothing and done nothing on the subject.

"I won!"
he’s working really hard to destroy the country he heads.
Nice to see that he has also found some way to circumvent the supposed First Amendment prohibition against supporting a religion. I guess it was just meant to separate the government of a Christian people from the Christian religion.
a new multi-million-dollar technology fund for Muslim nationsin future news, some Muzzie nimrod finished inscribing the entire Koran on a single grain of sand using a scanning-tunnelling electron microscope.
The irony is, even those are imported from the West.
